Coaching grounded in experience & real-world complexity

I work for people navigating complexity, pressure, and high cognitive demand - in work, in leadership and in life.

You may be:

  • A founder, leader, creative or professional carrying high levels of responsibility, complexity or cognitive load

  • ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, dyslexic, or otherwise neurodivergent or exploring whether you might be

  • Trying to sustain performance and wellbeing in demanding roles, teams or leadership positions

  • Navigating overload, burnout risk, leadership pressure, working relationships or changing expectations

Youโ€™re looking for coaching thatโ€™s grounded in practical insight and clear structure, to help you:

  • Reduce overwhelm and regain clarity under pressure

  • Navigate change, leadership and decision-making with more confidence

  • Improve communication, boundaries and sustainable ways of working

  • Work and lead more sustainably, without sacrificing yourself in the process

I help people work, lead and live more sustainably under pressure.

Tom, a Neurodiversity Coach is standing on a sandy beach near the ocean in Barcelona, wearing sunglasses, a dark jacket, and a scarf, with city buildings visible in the distance under a clear blue sky., on a beach in Barcelona

Iโ€™m an executive coach based in Barcelona, working with leaders, creatives and neurodivergent professionals navigating complexity.

My work is shaped by lived experience and more than a decade supporting professionals through leadership challenges, career transitions and sustainable performance.

Originally trained as an executive coach in London, Iโ€™ve worked with clients across finance, law, the media and start/scale up environments, including people from organisations such as HSBC, JP Morgan, Credit Suisse and A&O Shearman.

With backgrounds in anthropology, ethics and neurodiversity-informed coaching, I bring a systemic human lens to how people work, communicate, lead and sustain themselves under pressure.

I work internationally online and in person in Barcelona.
